Dynamics and Instabilities of Planar Tensile Cracks in Heterogeneous Media

open access: yes, 1997
The dynamics of tensile crack fronts restricted to advance in a plane are studied. In an ideal linear elastic medium, a propagating mode along the crack front with a velocity slightly less than the Rayleigh wave velocity, is found to exist.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Fatigue life prediction of z-fibre pinned composite laminate under mode I loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A hybrid method is presented combining linear elastic fracture mechanics with nonlinear damage mechanics that can predict the fatigue crack growth rate in z-fibre pinned composites under mode I loading.

New Theory for Mode I Crack-tip Dislocation Emission

open access: yes, 2017
A material is intrinsically ductile under Mode I loading when the critical stress intensity K Ie for dislocation emission is lower than the critical stress intensity K Ic for cleavage.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Fracture Process and Failure Mode of Brazilian Discs with Cracks of Different Angles: A Numerical Study

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In order to determine the effect of internal cracks on the tensile failure of materials, a hybrid finite–discrete element method was used to analyze the Brazilian disc test with cracks of different angles.

Cracking Mode Analysis of Crack Initiation in Rocks under Uniaxial Compression

open access: yesAdvance in Civil Engineering, 2019
Crack initiation is related to the behavior of the preexisting microcracks within a rock specimen, which suggests the specimen starts to fail. The determination of crack initiation stress is important for identifying the elastic stage and related ...

Discontinuous fibrous Bouligand architecture enabling formidable fracture resistance with crack orientation insensitivity

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Inspired by the survival war between the “spear” of mantis shrimps with Bouligand-type microstructures and the “shield” of abalone with nacreous staggered architectures, we design an architecture, a combination of Bouligand and nacreous ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Influences of crystal orientations and grain boundary on crack propagation behaviour at room temperature in a polycrystalline Ni-base superalloy

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
Fatigue crack propagation in a polycrystalline Ni-base superalloy was experimentally investigated at room temperature. Fatigue crack propagation tests were conducted under a constant ΔK condition to clarify the effect of grains crystal orientation, grain
